Thatcher and Sawyer went to a new home yesterday. Sawyer settled right in, rubbing his face all over the woman’s white carpet! LOL I think he was shocked to find a home that wasn’t frequented by other cats. He and Thatch will be the only pets in the home and they have their own little boy who is looking forward to having them sleep with him.

The home is just minutes away from where I live, so I can check in with them periodically to see how it goes.

Today, I am taking a newcomer Cyrus into the vet and also taking in Mercedes. She had been ready for an adoptive home, but as it does happen, she got into a bit of trouble the day before her adoption was finalized. I took a deeply imbedded claw out of the middle of her forehead a few days ago and now she has major eye issues. I suspect the two events are related.

The woman wanting to adopt her, once she found out about the impending possible vet bills- has declined adopting her…sigh…But at least I found out before I sent her there, heaven knows whatever else would have been denied to her financially.

I have an appointment this morning to take the two cats in. I am going to have Cyrus scanned and hope that he has a chip- although I know this is not likely. But, I can always hope. he appeared in a trap when I set it to trap a pesky coon. In the morning, this gorgeous white and mackeral tabby was inside and he is so friendly and loving. Someone is hopefully missing him so perhaps I can find his owner. I have already knocked on a dozen doors on our road asking if they know who he belongs to. No one is claiming him.

Mercedes has been in the carrier most of the morning. She isn’t feral, but she is uncooperative and I knew if I didn’t capture her at feeding time, I wouldn’t be able to get close to her. The vet visit is going to be “interesting” to say the least.
